hello america!!! we had 371,000 new jobless claims for the 1st week of this brand new year. that's a lot of people &, bear in mind, there are others that were not eligible for claims. while we continue to add to numbers of the unemployed, one has to wonder when it will actually turn around.
there has been no 'push' from obama, for quite some time, to put america back to work; yeah, i know, he talks about hiring more teachers & infrastructure jobs but, we all know, that is not even a fair alternative to our jobs problems...america needs positive action, not more rhetoric.
for 4 years, america has been waiting for obamas promise to deliver the jobs & hey, come 2016, you'll still be waiting.
what can you honestly expect from a man that promised not to raise taxes on the middle class & then does just the opposite? yes, obama raised your taxes by not extending the social security tax of 4.2%...he allowed it to expire so that it would revert back to 6.2% & then, signed the 'fiscal bill' into law. so, some of you might not even notice that you're actually being taxed more; meaning you're taking home less. let's put it this way...that 2% increase will add up::::if you make $500 per week, you're taking home $10 less---that's $40 per month or, $480 per year.
what should piss you off the most is, obama never even told you he was going to do it. &, before you get to blaming the repubs, the dem controlled senate wrote the bill.
so, while just the rich may be paying more in taxes, don't you feel glad that you are one of them????
&, the dems want to raise even more taxes----one trillion dollars more......
